I'm Back :: Manic Music Monday

I'm back!!!  I was going to give you all a warning that I'd be gone for 2 weeks, but then I forgot.  Oops.

I got to split my time between Mexico and Denver the last two weeks, so let's just say going from a beautiful sunny Mexico by the pool to a snowy Denver is not the most fun a girl can have.  Mexico, beautiful.  Denver, cold.

But, never fear, I'm back and I promise you'll want to stay tuned.  I have a yummy wedding blog coming up tomorrow.

For now, enjoy a little Rocket Summer to kick-off this Manic Music Monday.  His music is a treat to my little ears.

Manic Music Monday: Tulsa Wedding Photographer

Every Monday I write this little post called Manic Music Monday. Why do I do it? Music has influenced my life for as long as I can remember. I cannot sit in a quiet room and thus always have music going.

I remember working on a project with my dad a few years ago and the second we walked into the kitchen to begin our project I walked straight over to the sterio and turned my iPod on. This was something second nature to me, but he started laughing at the fact that to me, turning on the radio was the start of a project for me. That is how I officially started things.

Now, still to this day, when I sit down and fire-up my computer, the first thing I do is turn on Pandora, iTunes, Grooveshark... something that will send music into the air surrounding me. It makes me feel complete.

And, because my husband thinks I sometimes have 'interesting' taste in music, I'm sharing some of my weekly favorites with you.

Whew. Long enough explanation for you? Thougth so.

And, just to peak your interest, my weekend was filled with some of the most stylish toddlers I've ever laid eyes on. I mean, these guys should have come to my house and dressed me for the day - that's how hip they are... and at only 2 years old! Acid washed jeans and a few rockin' vests. Ugh. Why did my mother find it necessary to dress me in pig-tails and sweaters my grandmother 'painted' for me.

So with that, I bring you this weeks' edition of Manic Music Monday. Enjoy!

The Best Is Yet To Come :: Tulsa Photographer

Alright, as promised I have something very exciting to share with you all.  Will this change your lives?  Probably not.  Will you get as excited as I did?  Umm... yeah, again, probably not.  BUT, because we're friends I'm sharing it with you anyway.

Yesterday, that fabulous employee sporting the solid brown ensemble with the three little letters U. P. S. arrived on my doorstep.  Little did he know that package he was holding was going to make me jump for joy and almost want to hug him!  I said almost. come on peeps.

I scribbled my signature as fast as I could and snatched up that beautiful brown box as quickly as my little hands knew how.

And what was inside?  Well.... only this!!!

Like I said, you probably aren't as excited as I was when I saw that beautiful brown truck pull up, but let's just pretend you are.  (and yes, sorry the pictures are small.  I took my own but don't have them with me at the moment.)

So there you have it internet.  A beautiful new Nikon D3s is the newest member of the Allison Lee Photo family and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!

Manic Music Monday :: Tulsa Photographer

Yes, dear friends, it's Manic Music Monday!  I think this is honestly one of my favorite parts of the week.  I love scouring through my music collection every week to find the perfect song choice to bring you all.  I'm just hoping you love everything I throw at you!

I also hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mother Nature decided it would be a really nice (late) April Fools joke to pretend it would be nice this past weekend then show up in all her horror at a wopping 90 degrees.  Bless her heart.

I've got lots to bring you all this week in the way of new fun images, so grab some popcorn and park your sweet little self in that chair of yours this week cause you won't want to miss this stuff!

But until then here's a little Rosie Thomas to hold you over.  She's an absolute treat for your ears!

This is going to be short because, well, we've got lots of editing to do friends! We had a SUPER fun wedding Saturday that went way into the wee morning hours, but man was it a blast. Our bride and groom lit up the dance floor and we (bride included) saw a side of the groom neither of us knew existed! You'll for sure want to see stuff from this wedding. Coming up!

I'm sure many of you watched the ACM's last night, but just in case you didn't or you missed this little number because you were running to the kitchen to grab a snack, let me show you one of the best numbers from last night. My girl Carrie!


Enjoy!






And I apologize for the all caps.  I'm trying to figure out how to fix it... Lindsey?? :)

It's Manic Music Monday!! If you've been on vacation and need a re-cap of previous posts, well then click on my friends.

This week's song has been on my playlist for a few weeks, but it never seems to get old.  It's kind of one of those strong-faced girl power songs, which honestly, my description makes me laugh.  I love her raspy voice and how she just lays everything out on the table in this song.

I've got quite a bit of photo fun'ness to bring you this week, so make sure and check back tomorrow.  It's gonna be a good one!  I'll give you a hint.  Remember the belly buttons from last week???

Sorry this is so late! It's been a busy Monday!

So let's make this short and sweet. This movie came out years ago, and I am still in love with this scene. As I was driving after lunch today this song came on my favorite radio station... so I blared it turned it up a little in my car and hummed along the entire time!

Manic Music Monday: Tulsa Wedding Photographer

Everyone's favorite Monday post... Manic Music Monday! Did you miss last week's post? It was a GOOD one... go back and take a look... once you've listened to this week's fun song, that is.

So, a few key points that need to pointed out from this  past weekend.

1. I got a new coffee table this weekend.  Now, I know what you're thinking.  Not a big deal.  Oh, but it is.  I've wanted a coffee table for months.  Now I can kick my feet up as I write this pretty blog to you all.

2. These weathermen KILL me.  It was suppose to be in the 60's this weekend and my engagement session ended up with drizzle and 50 degree weather.  FAIL weathermen.  FAIL!

Love this song.  LOVE.  It makes me jump up and dance around my house. I kid you not.  As I sat here writing this post and listening to the song the ubs gave me a few glances this direction as I bobbed my head around.  What can I say, it makes me happy!

And, if you're love it, check out The Nicest Thing.  Another Kate Nash Song. 

Enjoy!  and have a great week!

We're back! Another Manic Music Monday!

I've mentioned in past posts how much I LOVE music. I think it brings such emotion out of people, which is probably why I'm drawn to it.

This past week I've had this beauty on repeat on my computer. I was sitting in my car last week waiting on the hubs to run in a store and this came on the radio. I was immediately struck and have had it on repeat ever since. It was love at first... hearing? Anywho.. go take a listen. Let me know what you think. I hope you are struck as much as I was.

Welcome to another edition of Manic Music Monday. If you missed last weeks post - check it out here.
This weeks song is an older one - but a good one! This song frequented my iPod in college... and let's face it.. it still makes it's way into a playlist now and then.
On a seperate note - I came up with the brilliant idea of painting our entry way and living room on a whim this weekend. So... between shoots I would run home and paint a little. Needless to say, I'm a little tired today. I managed to finish the entry way and am about 70 percent finished in the living room.. just lack those darn vaulted ceilings. No bueno.

So, here's to Tegan & Sara and their ability to keep me awake today. I've got a load of editing to accomplish from this weekend... so stay tuned!

Have a great week!  Make it count!
